"The image is displayed on a glare-type IPS screen with a size of 15.6-inches (39.6 cm) and a Full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The brightness rates of the screen are above average. 378 cd/m² is an outstanding rate that implies outdoor suitability. A direct comparison with the contenders also shows that Toshiba's Satellite also clearly outshines the other devices.
The screen's other rates are also excellent. The contrast ratio of 1042:1 and the resulting rich black level of low 0.31 cd/m² speak for a very good image quality and are surprising for a laptop from the mid-price range. Toshiba's L50-B-182 also has a clear lead in the comparison here.
While the color accuracy analysis with CalMAN makes a bluish cast in many screens in mainstream laptops, we did not ascertain this here. The average DeltaE 2000 shift of 4 speaks for a good color reproduction. We are quite used to higher shifts in this price range.
Although the distracting reflections ruined the outdoor suitability a bit in the practical outdoor test, it is quite possible to use the laptop in the open air owing to the outstanding maximum brightness. The user can even work outdoors on bright, sunny days as long as the sun does not shine directly onto the screen.
An IPS screen always provides good viewing-angle stability - and the Satellite L50-B-182 is no exception. Only the brightness suffers when viewing the screen from slanted angles. Thus, the multimedia laptop is very suitable for spontaneous video nights with several people who do not imperatively look at the screen in a right angle."
